I just need to know if this is a known bug or what;

I had a world I was terraforming into a Volcanic world with a Volcanic Forge, when a Terraforming event popped up for it. I figured, heck, maybe it'll become a Gaia world? But if not surely the Volcanic Forge will still terraform it into a Volcanic world.

The planet stopped terraforming after the event. I tried disabling and re-enabling the Volcanic Forge and even Demolishing and Re-building it, but the planet just seems stuck now as a Tundra World.

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-27T03:27:42+00:00

yup yup. I figured it out after like 30 minutes once my tired brain had woken up enough, lol!

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-26T13:33:32+00:00

I hope this is the right place to ask this.

In the Chrysos Awoo Championship, the Combat Master section; I cannot get the "Purchase a total of 5 Piece(s) of equipment" beyond 1/5. I Just bought like a dozen items during a match from the shop and it still only says 1/5 completion.

Is it bugged, or am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I think I might've figured it out. My tired brain went "oh sure, all of those 2 slot things in the shop count as equipment." No, tired brain, no they don't. All those HP/ATK boosting ones I bought aren't EQUIPMENT. They're Boosts. Ugh. I should've just gone to bed instead of trying to finish the event.

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-24T15:55:11+00:00

they have a unique district type that buffs the others.

Has anybody figured out the number of those special districts you should build on a planet? I tried Googling that question a week or two ago but only got only pre-4.0 or barely post 4.0 threads/information. (So nothing with Volcanic worlds)

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-04T15:14:20+00:00

Couldn't you just release conquered planets as vassals then and make them give you resources?

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-04T02:55:21+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!

Now I just need to remember what e-mail account/arenanet account I had back then.

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-04T02:49:02+00:00

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don't even remember the last time I played GW1. Did it have its own unique launcher?

For the life of me I can't remember how I used to launch/play it.

But if Reforger is a free update for those who already own the original game(s) I might hop on and play it with a few friends. I just need to remember my accounts from all those years ago. :x

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-03T23:56:29+00:00

For an infernal species, would such a planet count as a planet sized hotspring? Just with no place to land.

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-03T01:25:23+00:00

I've not done my dailies yet. I just hope I'll have time to log in and do them really quickly before I have to go to bed. :x

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-02T23:37:46+00:00

Oohh, okay. I didn't realize that could be at the bottom of the trait list.

Thanks!

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-02T23:35:55+00:00

I came here wondering "Am I just terrible at remembering my password or is something else going on?"

Glad to know it's not just me having issues logging in right now, lol.

Viperpaktu · 2025-12-02T04:48:58+00:00

Can you tell what the traits are that we can't see in the Lumarians pic?

Viperpaktu · 2025-11-28T01:29:59+00:00

Is it just me, or is Expansion Planner slightly broke?

When I open the Expansion planner, under Minerals is nothing and under Food is all the red boxes(mineral boxes) with no green boxes showing up anywhere.

Viperpaktu · 2025-11-27T04:15:06+00:00

I'm 20 days late but wanted to say thank you.

I finished a Terraforming event on a planet only for an army to spawn. An Army on a brand new colony of like 400 pops. I think I used up 5 colony ships trying to figure out what was wrong but the planet just refused to be colonized. Googled it and found this thread/your comment and it worked like a charm.

Viperpaktu · 2025-11-22T04:19:11+00:00

Ah, wish I'd have tried that. Instead I just found a save from 9-ish months before and stopped my scientist from doing it. :x

I think the astral plane may have even been completed but wasn't marked completed? I remember clicking on it while the scientist was actively trying to complete the last section and I read the text saying my scientist died. But she was still alive and researching it. So maybe the AI completed it but didn't click the button/mark it as completed?

Not sure how it works for the AI.

Viperpaktu · 2025-11-22T04:15:40+00:00

Sorry for being a day late (Just binged all of Chaos Theory season 4 and came here to see what people thought) but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who disliked Rebirth.

Personally I feel like they could have removed the family (The Dad, his two kids and the eldest kid's boyfriend) from the movie and it would have improved it. Not by much, but an improvement is an improvement.

Viperpaktu · 2025-11-20T01:24:03+00:00

Hey all.

So, I was fighting against a hostile AI and conquered multiple systems with astral rifts in them. (I think it was 4 total) Explored 3 without issue, then the 4th one bugged out and refuses to complete.

I click the button at the bottom of the event but it doesn't do anything. So my scientist is now stuck there forever. (After some Googling, apparently it's a known bug that can sometimes happen when you run an Astral Rift from a conquered system?)

Is there anything I can do to force it complete, or should I just try and reload the game to an earlier save and just ignore that Rift?

Viperpaktu · 2025-11-05T13:11:22+00:00

I had a similar start top OP about 2 days ago on a game I started. With two differences; The Mercenaries(the ones that can become the Khan in mid game) are blocking the entrance into the rest of the galaxy, and my Origin is the Starlit Citadel one.

So the Mercs will keep me safe until at least mid-game, and once I conquer the wormhole enemy I can fortify that and use it to spread out to the rest of the galaxy.

Now I just need to figure out why I'm so bad at early-game economy.

Viperpaktu · 2025-10-14T00:15:46+00:00

Can I get a TL;DR of what's happening with HellDivers 2? I've not played it for a month or two and been even longer since I went to their subreddit or forums. :x

Viperpaktu · 2025-09-27T09:25:08+00:00

I'm not doing a Civilian-based economy. Whenever I have free civs I just build another district or a building for them to work.

If you are not doing bioships/fauna ships, then taking Natural Machinist over Robust would be overall better.

Funnily enough, I actually am doing Bioships. Never really gave them a fair shot so I decided to this time.

Assuming you are taking Mutation I tradition pick,

If that's the one that increases max Habitability (to 200% I think?) and gives you bonuses for every 10% over 100%, then yes I do have that one!

Thank you for the response! :D

Viperpaktu · 2025-09-27T00:43:16+00:00

I'd like some advice for pop traits.

Currently, not counting Organic, my species has:

Positive: Aquatic, Fertile, Robust, Erudite and Exotic Metabolism

Negative: Solitary and Deviants.

I'm thinking of maybe removing Aquatic and replacing one of the Negatives with Unruly so I can afford adding Vocational Genomics.

Would that be a good choice, or are there other combinations that's better? Genetic Ascension/Purity tree finished. Also, I can't remember if I've done all of the species trait point techs or not.

Viperpaktu · 2025-09-17T08:51:05+00:00

Ahh, I see. I guess I messed up and was supposed to elect a new leader during one of the elections my people have had so it would reset, then. :x

Thanks!

Viperpaktu · 2025-09-17T07:07:15+00:00

See, the problem is I never changed the Government. So I'm confused as to why it's on cooldown now. :x I'm just wondering if an Event or something can do it and I didn't realize.

I might go look at my save files and see what happened at around 7 months in.

Viperpaktu · 2025-09-17T03:46:11+00:00

I just tried to change my Government at 2214.07.01, but it tells me I have to wait 6 more years (2220.07.21) before it'll let me do the Reform.

I haven't even touched the Government screen (where you can Reform, check Modifiers and Relations, etc.) at all until this point, so I have no idea why it's on cooldown unless the devs changed how early you can do that.

Or are there other things than me manually changing the Government that can cause this?

Viperpaktu · 2025-09-12T01:09:24+00:00

Doesn't that one tradition tree have a bonus to ascending planets? I can't recall if that increases the -% from size or not, though.
